- January 07, 2020, 12:47:13 PMthe only shifting issue I had with my bike (which I've since sold;-() is in extreme heat it seemed to shift harder. but your issue, if I were to take a blind stab, might be clutch related. Is your cable properly adjusted? is there anything a little off about your clutch--does it ever try to grab or slip? If not the clutch, is everything with your shifting linkage adjusted right? do you know if anything with either the clutch or shift linkage has been recently changed? If your oil is all good and nothing else seems off, those 2 things (clutch and linkage) would be what I'd look into. Hopefully your tranny, which is essentially bullet proof, isn't going out! Let us know what you learn.
BTW, nice that you Florida guys can do a 200 mile ride in winter!!

I own a 800 and it's 20 years now, since I bought her. Never had such a issue like that.
Sorry for not being able to help ya.

- January 02, 2020, 21:11:25 PMDuring a 200 mile ride yesterday, at about 75 miles in, my '02 800 with 7800 miles on it started to develop a "no shift" condition.
As I was slowing and attempting to downshift no input to the shift lever would make it downshift. Along with this the "neutral finder"
seemed to be non existent. Any ideas as to why it became uncooperative? Oil level and type is correct/ fresh change about 400
miles ago. This was the longest trip to date on this bike that I acquired with 6800 miles on it. All services have been completed....
